Movie Info Plus - Manage Icons, Posters, FanArt, .NFO's & more for Movies & TV Shows

great, thanks for the fix ... was struggeling with that too!

I couldn't get this to install on win64. Anyone else succeeded?
The memory allocation inflates to over 1Gb and didn't seem to want to stop. Splash screen showing.

Will this work if my setup is one folder with multiple files?

Example:
My Movies/10000 BC.avi
My Movies/28 Day Later.avi
My Movies/28 Weeks Later.avi

I haven't tested it under 64bit windows, but it should work.

Are you running XP 64bit or Vista 64bit?

Try using the patch version. It is a stripped down exe file that doesn't embed the cached information and impawards poster xmls.
It does require admin rights to run as it's writing data to c:\program files\movieinfoplus

please let me know if that works.

It's designed to use the folder names for the movie information.

You would need to create a folder for each movie.
Example:
My Movies/10000 BC/10000 BC.avi
My Movies/28 Days Later/28 Day Later.avi
My Movies/28 Weeks Later/28 Weeks Later.avi

The folder requirement allows the movie.nfo, movie.tbn, fanart.jpg, and you'll be able to name the actual movie file whatever you want, use the same nfo for multiple files, use the same tbn file for mutlple movies (tbn is the thumbnail image used in library mode). A note on the naming of the file, if the file has multiple parts (i.e. stackable) , it will need to follow the stacking requirements for xbmc to see it (i.e. -part1 and -part2, etc)

I think someone posted a link to a program that will create the folders and move the files into them automatically in this thread.

I'll add a utility later that will be able to do this as well, but Beta 2 is my current priority.

Beta 2 of MIP will add in the following and should be ready in a week or two
movie.nfo support (done)
movie.tbn support (in progress)
fanart.jpg (in the root folder, done)
Ability to select the displayed poster size for both the icon used for the folder.jpg and the displayed poster size used for the tbn file. (done)
Ability to pick different folder.jpg images as well as the image for the tbn file (or to use the same image for both, which is what it does now)

tmdb poster size and file size labels (waiting)
and hopefully I'll have the tv shows portion stable enough to enable it (in work)

Some of the features (movie.nfo, movie.tbn, fanart.jpg in the root folder, movie-trailer.<ext>) are only available in the svn build of xbmc.

The default settings for MIP in beta 2 will be geared for maximum compatibility.

I name all of my multi-file movies like this....

Wanted a.avi
Wanted b.avi

and XBMC always recognize them right.

Is the naming "Part 1" + "Part 2" thing new to XBMC or can I still use A + B?

What are the benefits of doing things this way? I would think that by having each movie in its own folder makes navigating in File Mode more cumbersome. Granted library mode wont have issues but I like having File Mode easy to navigate as I jump out of Library mode sometimes.

I also have the same problem as Costal using Vista Home Premium 64bit but it is working fine on my Win XP Pro laptop (well it boots, not tried anything else).

Tried just extracting the archive and running the exe, and tried both 2211 and 2237 version with the same effect. you get the splash screen but it just takes more and more memory until it crashed or you end it.

Thanks

I've uploaded a version that might fix that vista issue, please give it a try and let me know if it works or not..

Note: this test build is not a stable build yet, I wouldn't run it against your movie collection as it's an internal build of beta 2 that is not complete.

thanks!

the part1 portion was just an example
